  Sat June 3 2023 : Internship orientation

  The engineering student all did an awesome job!
  

  This summer we have 12 students that signed up for our internship.

  We had all students attend the first engineering session at the UCF-Incubator facility.

  The students in attendance were divided into 3 teams.

   

• Engineering Design Process

• Mentoring Presentation -Brain

• Following introductions, we conducted our orientation.  The students were provided an overview of the internship and the expectations. 

• The student took the Multi-tasking test.
• The Multi-tasking test results proved that none of us can Multi-task and must focus on our single task and do it well.

• We then took part in the Tower of Power activity that focused on learning the Engineering Design Process.  

• 

• Agenda for the 2nd Engineering Session:

• A Safety Brief will be given to the students

  Each team will get a SeaPerch Kit

  Instructions and practice Soldering

• Other Engineering Opportunity:

Robo-Knights  - Robotics Competition Team

 

 

• Sat 10 and 17 June 2023 : SeaPerch and Soldering
• After a quick re-cap of last weeks agenda.
  

• Each team received their SeaPerch Kit.
• Every student practice Soldering.

• We covered the SeaPerch Design Concepts and other Mentoring topics.
